LiteFX::Rendering::IDescriptorRange

A contiguous range of descriptors on one of the global descriptor heaps, accessed directly by shaders through ResourceDescriptorHeap or SamplerDescriptorHeap.

Synopsis

Declared in <litefx/rendering_api.hpp>

class [[dllimport, dllexport]] IDescriptorRange;

Description

The range releases its descriptors when destroyed. The caller must ensure that the GPU no longer accesses the range at this point.
